I've started gathering the supplies to cast my head, sculpt a mask (New 52 Joker in this case), and I would then need to cast it. What I'm asking from the insanely knowledgeable, talented, and well sometimes insane folks of the Sculpting and Makeup Effects forum is for a little direction as to what I use to cast the mask.
I do not want it to be simply a mask but more of an appliance/prosthetic, as in attach to the subjects face but still allow for jaw movement for speaking. My concern is I know foam latex must be hot cast with an oven which poses its' own certain set of obstacles. Essentially it comes down to look, if I can achieve the same look and standard latex pull will allow for the jaw movement I require I would like to go that course. I'm hoping you fine folks will be able to lead me in the right direction. IF POSSIBLE, I would like the prosthetic to stand up to removal in order to be applied a few times before having to make another cast. Thanks everyone!
Edit: To add on, or would something like silicone or Dragon Skin from Smooth-On be a better fit for what I'm going for. I do want it to resemble the cut off skin of Joker's face as much as possibly.
